So if I understand correctly, ".helper" files can cause trouble by
sticking around when they're no longer needed.

Apple named them well; I've met human "helpers" with the same tendency.

... Where present, .helper files in LaunchDaemons and other LaunchAgents
are often left untouched and may have to be removed manually to return
the system to normal behavior (especially true of AntiVirus and other
utility software).
